Abstract
One of the important dimensions in psychology is the personality dimension of humans. Many theorists have studied in this field and presented many theories. One of these theorists is Erik Erikson. According to him, people's personality develops widely and widely in social interaction at different stages, and at every stage of life and the formation of his personality, a person is placed in an accumulation of individual, social effort and special psychological orientation. Therefore, the theory of "eight stages of human life" has been drawn. Hamidreza Shahabadi, a contemporary storyteller in the field of children and teenagers, has been very successful in the field of story characterization. For this reason, the writer's effort is to analyze the character of Hamidreza Shahabadi's story based on Erikson's personality theory. The used method is descriptive-analytical and based on library studies. Based on the results of the study of this author's story, it helps us to better understand and know the characteristics and moods of the people in the story, especially children and teenagers. In the stories of Hamidreza Shahabadi, the first two stages of Erikson's theory out of the eight stages of Erikson's theory are not seen in the characters of children's and adolescent stories.
